We purchased a kingsize divan bed from Bensons for beds in December we waited 4 weeks for delivery, when it arrived it was covered in red ink, Bensons agreed to replace it and said it would be replaced within 2 weeks, we actually waited almost 12 weeks as they kept fobbing us off with one excuse after another. now a year after the replacement bed arrived the Mattress is sinking the full length of each side, also one of the drawers keeps on falling off its runners. After several phone calls and emails Bensons sent out a supposedly independent inspector he looked at the bed and took photographs, he also lied on the bed and said how uncomfortable it is as you roll off the edge he said as far as he was concerned the mattress was faulty and needed replacing, he asked if I sat on the bed and I said no and explained that I have a stool in front of my dressing table which I use to sit on, he then said that it could not be caused by sitting on it as it is along the whole length of both sides so he would recomend replacement.
I then waited to hear from Bensons, after 10 days of silence I contacted them to be told the inspectors report says the bed is dipping on the edge due to sitting on it and therefore it is my fault and they are not willing to do anything about it, I explained that this is a completely different story to what the inspector told me but customer services are not interested, they say they are intending to repair the faulty drawer but they don't know when. I intend to take this further as I do not expect a bed I have only had 12 months to be unfit for purpose so quickly.
I have also found out that the Inspectors employed by EComaster have a reputation for telling the customer one thing and writing something completely different on the report, they are supposed to be independent but as Bensons put so much work there way if they kept on finding in the customers favour would the work dry up?
